AMC ENTERTAINMENT HOLDINGS, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 20182019

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1—BASIS OF PRESENTATION

AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. (“Holdings”), through its direct and indirect subsidiaries, including American Multi-Cinema, Inc. and its subsidiaries, (collectively with Holdings, unless the context otherwise requires, the “Company” or “AMC”), is principally involved in the theatrical exhibition business and owns, operates or has interests in theatres located in the United States and Europe. Holdings is an indirect subsidiary of Dalian Wanda Group Co., Ltd. (“Wanda”), a Chinese private conglomerate.

As of June 30, 2018,2019, Wanda owned approximately 59.44%49.85% of Holdings’ outstanding common stock and 81.47%74.89% of the combined voting power of Holdings’ outstanding common stock and has the power to control Holdings’ affairs and policies, including with respect to the election of directors (and, through the election of directors, the appointment of management), entering into mergers, sales of substantially all of the Company’s assets and other extraordinary transactions.

Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates and assumptions are used for, but not limited to: (1) Impairments, (2) Income and operating taxes, (3) Fair value of acquired assets and liabilities, and (4) Gift card and exchange ticket income. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Principles of Consolidation: The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Holdings and all subsidiaries, as discussed above, and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10–K for the year ended December 31, 2017.2018. The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2017,2018, which was derived from audited financial statements, and the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10–Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, these interim financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial position and results of operations. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. There are no noncontrolling (minority) interests in the Company’s consolidated subsidiaries; consequently, all of its stockholders’ equity, net earnings (loss) and total comprehensive income (loss) for the periods presented are attributable to controlling interests. Due to the seasonal nature of the Company’s business, results for the six months ended June 30, 20182019 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2018.2019. The Company manages its business under two reportable segments for its theatrical exhibition operations, U.S. markets and International markets.

Accumulated depreciation and amortization: Accumulated depreciation was $1,474.2$1,626.9 million and $1,266.9$1,697.1 million at June 30, 20182019 and December 31, 2017,2018, respectively, related to property. Accumulated amortization of intangible assets was $65.0$20.3 million and $55.5$72.9 million at June 30, 20182019 and December 31, 2017,2018, respectively.

Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted

Leases.The Company adopted the guidance of ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (“ASC 842”) as of January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective transition approach with the cumulative effect recognized at the date of initial application. The comparative information in the prior year has not been adjusted and continues to be reported under ASC 840, Leases, which was the accounting standard in effect for that period. ASC 842 requires lessees to recognize leases on-balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. The new standard establishes a right-of-use model (“ROU”) that requires a lessee to recognize a ROU asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with a term longer than 12 months. Leases are classified as finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern and classification of expense recognition in the income statement. See Note 2Leases for the required disclosures of the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases.

Accounting Pronouncements Issued Not Yet Adopted

Financial Instruments. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”), which provides new guidance regarding the measurement and recognition of credit impairment for certain financial assets. Such guidance will impact how the Company determines its allowance for estimated uncollectible receivables and evaluates its available-for-sale investments for impairment. ASU 2016-13 is effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that ASU 2016-13 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Fair Value Measurement. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework–Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (“ASU 2018-13”), which eliminates, adds, and modifies certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements as part of its disclosure framework project. Entities will no longer be required to disclose the amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, but will be required to disclose the range and weighted average used to develop significant unobservable inputs for Level 3 fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 is effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2020. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that ASU 2018-13 will have on its fair value measurement disclosures.

Cloud Computing Arrangement. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles–Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract (“ASU 2018-15”). ASU 2018-15 requires a customer in a cloud computing arrangement (i.e., hosting arrangement) that is a service contract to follow the internal-use software guidance in ASC 350-40 to determine which implementation, setup, and other upfront costs to capitalize as assets or expense as incurred. ASU 2018-15 is effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2020. Early adoption is permitted. Entities have the option to apply the guidance prospectively to all implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption or

retrospectively in accordance with ASC 250-10-45. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that ASU 2018-15 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 2—LEASES

The Company adopted ASC 842 on January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective transition method; and therefore, the comparative information has not been adjusted for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2018 or as of December 31, 2018. Upon transition to the new standard, the Company elected the package of practical expedients, which permitted the Company not to reassess under the new standard its prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs.

The Company leases theatres and equipment under operating and finance leases. The majority of the Company’s operations are conducted in premises occupied under lease agreements with initial base terms ranging generally from 12 to 15 years, with certain leases containing options to extend the leases for up to an additional 20 years. The Company typically does not believe that exercise of the renewal options is reasonably assured at the inception of the lease agreements and, therefore, considers the initial base term as the lease term. Lease terms vary but generally the leases provide for fixed and escalating rentals, contingent escalating rentals based on the Consumer Price Index and other indexes not to exceed certain specified amounts and variable rentals based on a percentage of revenues. The Company often receives contributions from landlords for renovations at existing locations. The Company records the amounts received from landlords as an adjustment to the right-of-use asset and amortizes the balance as a reduction to rent expense over the base term of the lease agreement.

Operating lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities were recognized at commencement date based on the present value of minimum lease payments over the remaining lease term. The minimum lease payments include base rent and other fixed payments, including fixed maintenance costs. The Company’s leases have remaining lease terms of approximately 1 year to 25 years, which may include the option to extend the lease when it is reasonably certain the Company will exercise that option. The present value of the lease payments is calculated using the incremental borrowing rate for operating leases, which was determined using a portfolio approach based on the rate of interest that the Company would have to pay to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments on a collateralized basis over a similar term. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The Company elected the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components and also elected the short-term practical expedient for all leases that qualify. As a result, the Company will not recognize right-of-use assets or liabilities for short-term leases that qualify for the short-term practical expedient, but instead will recognize the lease payments as lease cost on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain residual value guarantees. Short-term leases and sublease arrangements are immaterial. Equipment leases primarily consist of digital projectors and food and beverage equipment.

As a result of adopting ASC 842, the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet includes additional operating ROU assets and total operating lease liabilities of $4,798.9 million and $5,422.8 million, respectively, at June 30, 2019. The difference between the ROU assets and total lease liabilities upon initial measurement at January 1, 2019, was primarily due to the reclassification of (i) deferred rent, landlord allowances, unfavorable lease balances, and theatre closure liabilities previously recorded in other long-term liabilities, (ii) current portions of theatre closure liabilities previously recorded in accrued expenses and other liabilities; (iii) favorable lease balances previously recorded in intangible assets; and, (iv) prepaid rents recorded in other current assets within the condensed consolidated balance sheets as an offset or addition to the opening ROU asset balances, as required by ASC 842.

(1)Included in the operating right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities are assets and liabilities for leases related to previous build-to-suit failed sale-leaseback transactions, that were derecognized and recorded as a cumulative effect adjustment to accumulated deficit upon adoption of ASC 842. These leases were classified and remeasured at January 1, 2019 as operating right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities.

(2)Corresponding with the adoption of ASC 842, the Company renamed previously classified capital lease assets and capital lease obligations under ASC 840 as finance lease right-of-use assets and finance lease liabilities, respectively. The Company recognized the finance lease right-of-use assets and finance lease liabilities on January 1, 2019 at the carrying amount of the capital lease asset and capital lease obligation as of December 31, 2018.

(2)Included in this column upon adoption of ASC 842 are fixed executory costs that were previously excluded as part of the minimum lease payments. Fixed executory costs, which primarily consist of common area maintenance, insurance and taxes that meet the classification of fixed payments are included as part of the minimum lease payments.

As of June 30, 2019, the Company had signed additional operating lease agreements for 19 theatres that have not yet commenced of approximately $417.0 million, which are expected to commence between 2019 and 2021, and carry lease terms of approximately 5 to 25 years. The timing of lease commencement is dependent on the landlord providing the Company with control and access to the related facility.

Minimum annual payments required under operating lease liabilities and capital and failed sale-leaseback, finance lease obligations, (net present value thereof) that have initial or remaining non-cancelable terms in excess of one year as of December 31, 2018 were as follows:

During the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company modified the terms of an existing operating lease to reduce the lease term. The Company received a $35.0 million incentive from the landlord to enter into the new lease agreement. The Company has recorded amortization of the lease incentive as a reduction to rent expense on a straight-line basis over the remaining lease term which reduced rent expense by $10.8 million and $35.0 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively.

Sale and Leaseback Transaction: On June 18, 2018, the Company completed the sale and leaseback of the real estate assets associated with one theatre for proceeds, net of closing costs of $50.1 million. The gain on the sale of approximately $27.3 million has been deferred and will be amortized over the remaining lease term. 

Presentation:  Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period financial statements to conform to the current year presentation.

Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted

Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The Company adopted the guidance of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, (“ASC 606”) as of January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method. ASC 606 requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The Company recognized the cumulative effect of initially applying the new revenue standard as an adjustment to the opening balance of accumulated deficit. ASC 606 was applied only to contracts that were not completed at January 1, 2018. The comparative information in the prior year has not been adjusted and continues to be reported under ASC 605, Revenue Recognition, which was the accounting standard in effect for those periods. See Note 2—Revenue for the required disclosures of the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers per the guidance in ASC 606.

Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects. In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-02, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“ASU 2018-02”), which allows a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to accumulated deficit for stranded tax effects resulting from the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act signed into law in December 2017. ASU 2018-02 is effective for the Company on January 1, 2019 and early adoption of the amendments is permitted, including adoption in any interim period. The Company early adopted ASU 2018-02, effective January 1, 2018, and recorded a reclassification related to the stranded tax effects that increased accumulated other comprehensive income and increased accumulated deficit by $5.0 million in the consolidated balance sheets as of January 1, 2018. See Note 7—Income Taxes for further information.

Modification Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting (“ASU 2017-09”), which amends the scope of modification accounting for share-based payment arrangements and provides guidance on the types of changes to the terms or conditions of the share-based payment awards to which an entity would be required to apply modification accounting under ASC 718. The amendments in ASU 2017-09 should be applied prospectively to an award modified on or after the adoption date. The Company adopted ASU 2017-09 on January 1, 2018 and will apply the guidance in ASU 2017-09 to any future changes to the terms or conditions of stock-based payment awards should they occur. The Company’s adoption of ASU 2017-09 did not have an impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Improving Presentation of Net Benefit Costs. In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-07, Compensation – Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost (“ASU 2017-07”). The guidance requires the service cost component of defined benefit pension plans and other post-retirement benefit plans to be reported in the same line item as other compensation costs arising from the services rendered by the pertinent employees while the other components of net benefit cost are required to be presented in the income statement separately from the service cost component and reported outside a subtotal of operating income. The amendments in this guidance should be applied retrospectively for the presentation of the service cost component and the other components of net benefit cost in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company adopted ASU 2017-07 effective January 1, 2018 and recorded a prior period adjustment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 in the consolidated statements of operations to decrease general and administrative other by $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively, related to the other components of net benefit cost, with a corresponding increase to other expense (income) of $0.1 million and decrease to other income of $0.2 million, respectively. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Restricted Cash in Statement of Cash Flows. In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash (A Consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force) (“ASU 2016-18”). ASU 2016-18 requires that restricted cash be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. This guidance must be applied retrospectively to all periods presented. The Company adopted ASU 2016-18 effective January 1, 2018 and the prior

period has been adjusted to conform to the current period presentation. This guidance also requires a new disclosure to reconcile the cash balances within the consolidated statement of cash flows to the consolidated balance sheets. The following table provides a reconciliation of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash reported within the consolidated balance sheets that sum to the total of the amounts shown in the consolidated statements of cash flows:

Classification of certain cash receipts and cash payments. In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (“ASU 2016-15”). The amendments in this update provide guidance on eight specific cash flow classification issues. The update provides specific guidance on each of the eight issues, thereby reducing the diversity in practice in how certain transactions are classified in the statement of cash flows. The Company adopted ASU 2016-15 on January 1, 2018 and made an election to continue using the “nature of the distribution approach” to classify distributions received from equity method investments. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated statements of cash flows.

Classification and measurement of financial instruments. In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments –  Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (“ASU 2016-01”). ASU 2016-01 amends various aspects of the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments. The amendments require that equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee) are to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. However, an entity may choose to measure equity investments that do not have readily determinable fair values at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer. The Company adopted ASU 2016-01 on January 1, 2018 and recorded a decrease to accumulated other comprehensive income of $0.6 million, net of tax, related to the unrealized gains on available-for-sale securities that are equity instruments with a corresponding decrease to accumulated deficit in the consolidated balance sheets as of the beginning of the year. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Pronouncements Issued Not Yet Adopted

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases, (“ASC 842”) which requires lessees to recognize leases on-balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. The new standard establishes a right-of-use model (“ROU”) that requires a lessee to recognize a ROU asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with a term longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern and classification of expense recognition in the income statement. The new standard is effective for the Company on January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company plans to adopt the guidance on January 1, 2019, using a modified retrospective transition approach with the cumulative effect recognized at the date of initial application, whereby comparative prior period financial information will not be adjusted to reflect the new standard. In January 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-01, Leases, which permits an entity to elect an optional transition practical expedient to not evaluate under ASU 842 land easements that exist or expired before the entity’s adoption of ASC 842 and that were not previously accounted for as leases.

The Company expects that this standard will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements. While the Company is continuing to assess the effect of adoption, the Company currently believes the most significant changes relate to (1) the recognition of new ROU assets and lease liabilities on its balance sheet for theatres currently subject to operating leases; (2) the derecognition of existing assets and liabilities for certain sale-leaseback transactions (including those arising from build-to-suit lease arrangements for which construction is complete and the Company is leasing the constructed asset) that currently do not qualify for sale accounting and the recognition of new ROU assets and lease liabilities on its balance sheet; and (3) the derecognition of existing assets and liabilities for certain assets under construction in build-to-suit lease arrangements that the Company will lease when construction is complete. The Company does not expect a significant change in its leasing activity between now and adoption. However, the Company

10


Table of Contents

has not quantified the effects of these expected changes from the new standard.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”), which provides new guidance regarding the measurement and recognition of credit impairment for certain financial assets. Such guidance will impact how the Company determines its allowance for estimated uncollectible receivables and evaluates its available-for-sale investments for impairment. ASU 2016-13 is effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2020, with early adoption permitted in the first quarter of 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that ASU 2016-13 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.  

NOTE 2—3—REVENUE RECOGNITION

The Company adopted ASC 606 on January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method; and therefore, the comparative information has not been adjusted for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017.

Revenues: The Company recognizes revenue, net of sales tax, when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control over a product or service to a customer. Admissions and food and beverage revenues are recognized at a point in time when a film is exhibited to a customer and when a customer takes possession of food and beverage offerings. The Company defers 100% of the revenue associated with the sales of gift cards and exchange tickets until such time as the items are redeemed or estimated income from non-redemption is recorded.

The Company recognizes income from non-redeemed or partially redeemed gift cards in proportion to the pattern of rights exercised by the customer (“proportional method”) where it applies an estimated non-redemption rate for its gift card sales channels, which range from 12% to 18% of the current month sales, and the Company recognizes in other theatre revenues the total amount of expected income for non-redemption for that current month’s sales as income over the next 24 months in proportion to the pattern of actual redemptions. The Company has determined its non-redeemed rates and redemption patterns using data accumulated over ten years. Prior to January 1, 2018, income for non-redeemed exchange tickets were recognized 18 months after purchase when the redemption of these items was determined to be remote. At January 1, 2018, the Company changed its method for recognizing income from non-redeemed exchange tickets to the proportional method, where it applies a non-redemption rate of 10% to the current month sales, and the Company recognizes the total amount of income for that current month’s sales as income over the next 24 months in proportion to the pattern of actual redemptions. Management believes the 24-month estimate is supported by its continued development of redemption history and that it is reflective of management’s current best estimate. The adoption of the proportional method of recognizing income from non-redeemed exchange tickets did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Prior to January 1, 2018, the Company recorded online ticket fee revenues net of third-party commission or service fees. In accordance with ASC 606 guidance, the Company believes that it is a principal (as opposed to agent) in the arrangement with third-party internet ticketing companies in regard to the sale of online tickets because the company controls the online tickets before it is transferred to the customer. Upon adoption of ASC 606 on January 1, 2018, the Company recognizes ticket fee revenues based on a gross transaction price. The online ticket fee revenues and the third-party commission or service fees are recorded in the line item other theatre revenues and operating expense, respectively, in the consolidated statements of operations. These changes did not have any impact on net income or cash flows from operations.

Exhibitor Services Agreement:The Company recognizes advertising revenues, which are included in other theatre revenues in the consolidated statements of operations, when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring a promised good or service to the customers. The advertising contracts with customers generally consist of a series of distinct periods of service, satisfied over time, to provide rights to advertising services. The Company’s ESA with NCM includes a significant financing component due to the significant length of time between receiving the noncash consideration and fulfilling the performance obligation. The Company receives the non-cash consideration in the form of common membership units from NCM, in exchange for rights to exclusive access to the Company’s theatre screens and attendees through February 2037. Upon adoption of ASC 606, the Company’s advertising revenues have significantly increased with a similar offsetting increase in non-cash interest expense, which is recorded to non-cash NCM exhibitor service agreement in the consolidated statements of operations. Upon adoption of ASC 606 and pursuant to the calculation requirements for the time value of money, the amortization method reflects the front-end loading of the significant financing component where more interest expense is recognized earlier during the term of the agreement than 

12


Table of Contents

the back-end recognition of the deferred revenue amortization where more revenue is recognized later in the term of the agreement. See Note 5—Investments for further information regarding the common unit adjustment and the fair value measurement of the noncash consideration. The interest expense was calculated using discount rates that ranged from 6.5% to 8.5%, which are the rates at which the Company believes it could borrow in separate financing transactions. The Company recognized a cumulative effect transition adjustment of initially applying ASC 606 by increasing accumulated deficit on January 1, 2018 by approximately $52.9 million, including income tax effect of $0, as a result of this change. These changes did not have any impact on the Company’s cash flows from operations.

Customer Frequency Program: AMC Stubs® is a customer loyalty program which allows members to earn rewards, receive discounts and participate in exclusive members-only offerings and services. In July 2016, the Company completed a national relaunch of its AMC Stubs® loyalty program featuring both a traditional paid tier called AMC Stubs PremiereTM and a new non-paid tier called AMC Stubs InsiderTM. Both programs reward loyal guests for their patronage of AMC Theatres. The AMC Stubs InsiderTM tier rewards guests for simply coming to the movies, and benefits include free refills on certain food items, discount ticket offers, a birthday gift and 20 reward points earned for every dollar spent. For a $15.00 annual membership fee, AMC Stubs PremiereTM members enjoy express service with specially marked shorter lines at the box office and concession stand, free size upgrades on certain food and beverage items, discount ticket offers, a birthday gift, discounted online ticketing fees and 100 reward points for every dollar spent. Some of the rewards earned are redeemable on future purchases at AMC locations. Once an AMC Stubs PremiereTM or AMC Stubs InsiderTM member accumulates 5,000 points they will earn a $5.00 virtual reward.

The portion of the admissions and food and beverage revenues attributed to the rewards is deferred as a reduction of admissions and food and beverage revenues and is allocated between admissions and food and beverage revenues based on expected member redemptions. Upon redemption, deferred rewards are recognized as revenues along with associated cost of goods. Converted rewards not redeemed within nine months are forfeited and recognized as admissions or food and beverage revenues. Prior to January 1, 2018, rewards for expired memberships were forfeited based upon specified periods of inactivity of the membership and recognized as admissions or food and beverage revenues. As of January 1, 2018, the Company changed its method for recognizing forfeited rewards from the remote method to the proportional method, where the Company estimates point breakage in assigning value to the points at the time of sale based on historical trends. The program’s annual membership fee is allocated to the material rights for discounted or free products and services and is initially deferred, net of estimated refunds, and recognized as the rights are redeemed based on estimated utilization, over the one-year membership period in admissions, food and beverage, and other revenues. A portion of the revenues related to a material right are deferred as a virtual rewards performance obligation using the relative standalone selling price method and are recognized as the rights are redeemed or expire.

NOTE 3—ACQUISITIONS

Nordic Cinema Group Holding AB

On March 28, 2017, the Company completed the acquisition of Nordic Cinema Group Holding AB (“Nordic”) for cash. The purchase price for Nordic was approximately SEK 5,756 million ($654.9 million), which includes payment of interest on the equity value and repayment of shareholder loans. As a result of the acquisition, the Company assumed the indebtedness of Nordic of approximately SEK 1,269 million ($144.4 million) and indebtedness of approximately €156 million ($169.5 million) as of March 28, 2017, which was refinanced subsequent to the acquisition. The Company also assumed approximately SEK 13.5 million ($1.6 million) and approximately €1.0 million ($1.1 million) of interest rate swaps related to the indebtedness which were repaid following the acquisition. All amounts have been converted into US Dollar amounts assuming an SEK/USD exchange rate of 0.11378 and an EUR/USD exchange rate of 1.0865, which were the exchange rates on March 27, 2017.

The acquisition is being treated as a purchase in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805, Business Combinations”), which requires allocation of the purchase price to the estimated fair values of assets and liabilities acquired in the transaction. The allocation of purchase price is based on

Table of Contents

The purchase price paid by the Company in the acquisition resulted in recognition of goodwill because it exceeded the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The Company paid a price in excess of estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed because the acquisition of Nordic enhances its position as the largest movie exhibition company in Europe and broadens and diversifies its European platform. The Company also expects to realize synergy and cost savings related to the acquisition because of purchasing and procurement economies of scale.

During the three and six months ended June��30, 2018, the Company incurred acquisition-related and transition costs for Nordic of approximately $1.6 million and $2.7 million, respectively, which were included in general and administrative expense: merger, acquisition and transaction costs in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The revenues for Nordic during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 were $73.2 million and $179.8 million, respectively. Nordic net earnings during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 were $1.1 million and $14.6 million, respectively.

Pro Forma Results of Operations (Unaudited)

The following selected comparative unaudited pro forma results of operations information for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 assumes that the Nordic acquisition occurred at the beginning of 2017 and reflects the full results of operations for the periods presented. The pro forma results have been prepared for comparative purposes only and do not purport to indicate the results of operations which would actually have occurred had the combination been in effect on the dates indicated, or which may occur in the future. These amounts have been calculated after applying the Company’s accounting policies and adjusting the results of Nordic to reflect the fair value adjustments to property and equipment and financing obligations. The pro forma financial information presented includes the effects of adjustments related to fair values assigned to long-lived assets, including depreciation charges from acquired property and equipment, interest expense and incremental shares issued from financing the acquisitions and the related income tax effects, and the elimination of Carmike Cinemas, Inc. (“Carmike”) and AMC historical revenues and expenses for theatres in markets that were divested as required by the final judgement with the Department of Justice (“DOJ”) in connection with the acquisition of Carmike. Merger, acquisition and transaction costs directly related to the acquisitions have not been removed.

The Company evaluates goodwill for impairment annually as of the beginning of the fourth fiscal quarter and any time an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value for a reporting unit below its carrying amount. A decline in our common stock price and the resulting impact on market capitalization is one of several factors we consider when making this evaluation. The Company’s market capitalization has been below carrying value since May 24, 2019. The recent declines in the trading price of the Company’s Class A common stock were not considered to be sustained declines and therefore were not an event that would require the Company to evaluate goodwill for impairment as of June 30, 2019.

NCM Transactions.  In March 2018, the NCM Common Unit Adjustment ("CUA") resulted in a negative adjustment of 915,150 common units for the Company. The Company elected to return the units and recorded the surrendered common units as a reduction to deferred revenues for the ESA at fair value of $5.2 million, based upon a price per share of National Cinemedia, Inc. (“NCM, Inc.”) of $5.64 on March 15, 2018. The Company’s investment in NCM was reduced by the carrying value of the common units of $6.3 million resulting in a loss from the surrender of the

NCM common units of $1.1 million, which was recorded to equity in earnings (loss) of Non-Consolidated Entities in March 2018.

As of June 30, 2018, the Company owned 21,477,480 common membership units in NCM, which are classified on the Company’s balance sheet as held for sale. On July 5, 2018, the Company completed the sale of its remaining interest in NCM for $7.30 per unit and received cash proceeds of approximately $156.8 million and expects to record a gain on sale of approximately $30.0 million during the three months ending September 30, 2018.

NCM Agreement

On March 9, 2017, the Company reached an agreement with NCM to implement the requirements of the final judgment entered in connection with the DOJ approval of the Carmike transaction. Pursuant to the NCM agreement, the

20


Table of Contents

Company received 18,425,423 NCM common units in March 2017 related to annual attendance at the Carmike theatres and 361,892 NCM common units related to the 2016 common unit adjustment. Because the Carmike theatres were subject to a pre-existing agreement with a third party and will not receive advertising services from NCM, the Company will be obligated to make quarterly payments to NCM reflecting the estimated value of the advertising services at the Carmike theatres as if NCM had provided such services. The quarterly payments will continue until the earlier of (i) the date the theatres are transferred to the NCM network or (ii) expiration of the ESA with NCM. All calculations will be made pursuant to the terms of the existing ESA and Common Unit Adjustment Agreement with NCM. With regard to the existing AMC theatres on the NCM network that are required under the final judgment with the DOJ to be transferred to another advertising provider, the Company returned 2,850,453 (valued at $36.4 million) NCM common units to NCM in March 2017, calculated under the Common Unit Adjustment Agreement as if such theatres had been disposed of on March 3, 2017. The Company is not obligated to make quarterly payments with respect to the transferred theatres. In addition, the Company returned 1,807,220 additional NCM common units (valued at $22.6 million) in exchange for a waiver of exclusivity by NCM as to the required transferred theatres for the term of the final judgment, which was classified as general and administrative: Merger, acquisition and transaction costs when the common units were returned to NCM during the three months ended March 31, 2017. The Company recorded a loss of $1.2 million on the return of NCM common units as per the Common Unit Adjustment Agreement and exclusivity waiver for the difference between the average carrying value of the units and the fair value on the date of return. As a result of the agreement, the Company received 14,129,642 net additional NCM common units, valued at $176.9 million based on the market price of NCM, Inc. stock on March 16, 2017 of $12.52. Due to the structure of the transactions, the Company will no longer anticipate recognizing taxable gain upon receipt of new NCM common units. The Company also agreed to reimburse NCM up to $1.0 million for expenses related to the negotiation of this agreement.

The final judgment with the DOJ also requires the Company to divest the majority of its equity interests in NCM, so that by June 20, 2019, AMC owns no more than 4.99% of NCM’s outstanding equity interests on a fully converted basis per the following schedule: (i) on or before December 20, 2017, AMC must own no more than 15% of NCM’s outstanding equity interests; (ii) on or before December 20, 2018, AMC must own no more than 7.5% of NCM’s outstanding equity interests; and (iii) on or before June 20, 2019 AMC must own no more than 4.99% of NCM’s outstanding equity interests. The Company sold 14,800,000 NCM, Inc. shares during the three months ending September 30, 2017 and satisfied the DOJ divestiture requirements related to NCM dispositions for calendar 2017. As of June 30, 2018, the Company has 21,477,480 common units of NCM classified as held-for-sale, which were sold on July 5, 2018 and the Company is in full compliance with the DOJ final judgment.  In March 2018, the Company recorded in equity in (earnings) loss of non-consolidated entities a lower of carrying value or fair value impairment charge of $16.0 million to reduce the carrying value of its held-for-sale investment in NCM to Level 1 fair value.  The impairment charge reflected recording our held-for-sale units and shares at the lower of carrying value or publicly quoted per share price on March 31, 2018 of $5.19.

On June 18, 2018, the Company entered into two Unit Purchase Agreements (the “Agreements”) with each of Regal Cinemas, Inc. (“Regal”) and Cinemark USA, Inc. (“Cinemark”) pursuant to which Regal and Cinemark each separately agreed to purchase 10,738,740 common units of NCM at a sales price of $7.30 per unit and aggregate consideration of approximately $156.8 million (the “Sales”). The Sales closed on July 5, 2018. Following the closing of the Sales, the Company no longer owns any shares of common stock in NCM, Inc. or common units in NCM. NCM consented to the Sales and waived its rights under the memorandum of understanding that provided the Company would not reduce its combined ownership of NCM and NCM, Inc. below 4.5%.

Screenvision Merger.  On May 30, 2018 Screenvision entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger under which a change of control in Screenvision occurred upon consummation of the transactions contemplated therein. The Company received distributions and merger consideration of $45.9 million on July 2, 2018 upon consummation of the Screenvision merger and retains a 21.2% common membership interest. The Company expects to reduce the carrying value of its investment in Screenvision to $0 and record equity in earnings for the excess distribution of approximately $30.0 million during the three months ending September 30, 2018.

Digital Cinema Media. The Company acquired its equity investment in DCM on November 30, 2016 in connection with the acquisition of Odeon. The Company receives advertising services from DCM for its Odeon theatres in International markets through a joint venture in which it has a 50.0% ownership interest.

After giving effect to the Sixth Amendment, the Credit Agreement provides for senior secured financing of $2,225.0 million in aggregate, consisting of (1) $2,000.0 million in aggregate principal amount of senior secured tranche B loans maturing April 22, 2026 (the “Term Loan Facility”)and (2) a $225.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility (which includes borrowing capacity available for letters of credit) maturing April 22, 2024 (the “Revolving Credit Facility” and, together with the Term Loan Facility, the “Credit

Facilities”). The loans were used to repay all of the Company’s existing term loans in an aggregate principal amount of approximately $1,338.5 million and to fund the redemptions of the 5.875% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2022 and the 6.0% Senior Secured Notes due 2023. The Company recorded a loss of $16.6 million related to these transactions, comprised of $14.1 million of extinguishment losses and $2.5 million of third party costs related to the modification of the Term Loans under the Senior Secured Credit Facility.

All obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by, subject to certain exceptions, each of the Company’s current and future wholly-owned material domestic restricted subsidiaries. All obligations under the Credit Agreement, and the guarantees of those obligations, are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and each guarantor, subject to customary exceptions, including:

a pledge of 100% of the equity interests directly held by the Company and each guarantor in any wholly-owned material subsidiary of the Company or any guarantor (which pledge, in the case of any non-U.S. subsidiary of a U.S. subsidiary, will not include more than 65% of the voting stock of such non-U.S. subsidiary), subject to certain exceptions; and

20

a security interest in substantially all other tangible and intangible assets of the Company and each guarantor, subject to certain exceptions.

The Credit Facilities will require the Company to prepay outstanding term loans, subject to certain exceptions, with:

50% (which percentage will be reduced to 0% if the Company attains a certain secured net leverage ratio) of the Company’s annual excess cash flow;

100% of the net cash proceeds of certain non-ordinary course asset sales by the Company and its restricted subsidiaries (including casualty and condemnation events, subject to de minimis thresholds), and subject to the right to reinvest 100% of such proceeds, subject to certain qualifications; and

100% of the net proceeds of any issuance or incurrence of debt by the Company or any of its restricted subsidiaries, other than certain debt permitted under the Credit Agreement.

The foregoing mandatory prepayments will be used to reduce the installments of principal on the Term Loan Facility. The Company may voluntarily repay outstanding loans under the Credit Facilities at any time without premium or penalty, except (1) for customary “breakage” costs with respect to LIBOR loans under the Credit Facilities and (2) during the six months following the Amendment Closing Date, with respect to certain voluntary prepayments or refinancings of the Term Loan Facility that reduce the effective yield of the Term Loan Facility, which will be subject to a 1.00% prepayment premium.

Borrowings under the Term Loan Facility will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the Company’s option, either (1) an applicable margin plus a base rate determined by reference to the highest of (a) 0.50% per annum plus the Federal Funds Effective Rate, (b) the prime rate of Citi and (c) the LIBOR rate determined by reference to the cost of funds for U.S. dollar deposits for an interest period of one month adjusted for certain additional costs, plus 1.00% or (2) an applicable margin plus a LIBOR rate determined by reference to the costs of funds for U.S. dollar deposits for the interest period relevant to such borrowing adjusted for certain additional costs. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to an applicable margin based upon a leverage-based pricing grid, plus, at the Company’s option, either (1) a base rate determined by reference to the highest of (a) 0.50% per annum plus the Federal Funds Effective Rate, (b) the prime rate of Citi and (c) the LIBOR rate determined by reference to the cost of funds for U.S. dollar deposits for an interest period of one month adjusted for certain additional costs, plus 1.00% or (2) a LIBOR rate determined by reference to the costs of funds for U.S. dollar deposits for the interest period relevant to such borrowing adjusted for certain additional costs. As of the date hereof, the applicable margins for the LIBOR rate borrowings under the Term Loan Facility and the Revolving Credit Facility are 3.00% and 2.25%, respectively.

The Credit Agreement contains other customary terms, including (1) representations, warranties and affirmative covenants, (2) negative covenants, including limitations on indebtedness, liens, mergers and acquisitions, asset sales, investments, distributions, prepayments of subordinated debt and transactions with affiliates, in each case subject to baskets, thresholds and other exceptions, and (3) customary events of default.

The availability of certain baskets and the ability to enter into certain transactions will also be subject to compliance with certain financial ratios. In addition, the Revolving Credit Facility includes a maintenance covenant that requires, in certain circumstances, compliance with a certain secured leverage ratio.

On September 14, 2018, the Company issued $600.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 2.95% Senior Unsecured Convertible Notes due 2024 (the "Convertible Notes due 2024"). The Convertible Notes due 2024 mature on September 15, 2024, subject to earlier conversion by the holders thereof, repurchase by the Company at the option of the holders or redemption by the Company upon the occurrence of certain contingencies, as discussed below. Upon maturity, the $600.0 million principal amount of the Convertible Notes due 2024 will be payable in cash. The Company will pay interest in cash on the Convertible Notes due 2024 at 2.95% per annum, semi-annually in arrears on September 15th and March 15th, commencing on March 15, 2019. The Company used the net proceeds from the sale of the Convertible Notes due 2024 to repurchase and retire 24,057,143 shares of Class B common stock held by Wanda for $17.50 per share or approximately $421.0 million, associated legal fees of $2.6 million, and to pay a special dividend of $1.55 per share of Class A common stock and Class B common stock, or approximately $160.5 million on September 28, 2018 to shareholders of record on September 25, 2018.

The Company bifurcated the conversion feature from the principal balance of the Convertible Notes due 2024 as a derivative liability because (1) a conversion feature is not clearly and closely related to the debt instrument and the reset of the conversion price discussed in the following paragraph causes the conversion feature to not be considered indexed to the Company’s equity, (2) the conversion feature standing alone meets the definition of a derivative, and (3) the Convertible Notes due 2024 are not remeasured at fair value each reporting period with changes in fair value recorded in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. The initial derivative liability of $90.4 million is offset by a discount to the principal balance and is amortized to interest expense resulting in an effective rate of 5.98% over the term of the Convertible Notes due 2024. The Company also recorded debt issuance costs of approximately $13.6 million related to the issuance of the Convertible Notes due 2024 and will amortize those costs to interest expense under the effective interest method over the term of the Convertible Notes due 2024. The Company recorded interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 of $8.0 million and $16.0 million, respectively. The derivative liability is remeasured at fair value each reporting period with changes in fair value recorded in the condensed consolidated statement of operations as other expense or income. See Note 9Fair Value Measurements for a discussion of the valuation methodology. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, this resulted in a gain of $33.9 million and $20.6 million, respectively. The if-converted value of the Convertible Notes due 2024 is less than the principal balance by approximately $304.6 million as of June 30, 2019 based on the closing price per share of the Company’s common stock of $9.33 per share.

The Convertible Notes due 2024 are generally not convertible to equity in the first year after issuance. Upon conversion by a holder thereof, the Company shall deliver, at its election, either cash, shares of the Company’s Class A common stock or a combination of cash and shares of the Company’s Class A common stock at a conversion rate of 52.7704 per $1,000 principal amount of the Convertible Notes due 2024 (which represents an initial conversion price of $18.95), in each case subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments. As of June 30, 2019, the $600.0 million principal balance of the Convertible Notes due 2024 would be convertible into 31,662,269 shares of Class A common stock. In addition to typical anti-dilution adjustments, in the event that the then-applicable conversion price is greater than 120% of the average of the volume-weighted average price of the Company’s Class A common stock for the ten days prior to the second anniversary of issuance (the “Reset Conversion Price”), the conversion price for the Convertible Notes due 2024 is subject to a reset provision that would adjust the conversion price downward to such Reset Conversion Price. However, this conversion price reset provision is subject to a conversion price floor such that the shares of the Company’s Class A common stock issuable upon conversion would not exceed 30% of the Company’s then outstanding fully-diluted share capital after giving effect to the conversion. In addition, a trigger of the reset provision would result in up to 5,666,000 shares of the Company’s Class B common stock held by Wanda becoming subject to forfeiture and retirement by the Company at no additional cost pursuant to the stock repurchase agreement between the Company and Wanda discussed in Note 7Stockholders’ Equity. This cancellation agreement is a contingent call option for the forfeiture shares, which is a freestanding derivative measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The feature is contingent on the same reset of the conversion price which is part of the conversion feature. The initial derivative asset of $10.7 million is offset by a credit to stockholders’ equity related to the Class B common stock purchase and cancellation. The forfeiture shares feature is not clearly and closely related to the Convertible Notes due 2024 host and it is bifurcated and accounted for as a derivative asset measured at fair value through earnings each reporting period with changes in fair value recorded in the condensed consolidated statement of operations as other expense or income. See Note 9 – Fair Value Measurements for a discussion of the valuation methodology. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, this resulted in other income (expense) of $7.1 million and $(8.0) million, respectively. Additionally, the conversion rate will be adjusted if any cash dividend or distribution is made to all or substantially all holders of the Company’s common stock (other than the special dividend referenced above and a regular, quarterly cash dividend that does not exceed $0.20 per share until the second anniversary of issuance and $0.10 per share thereafter). Any Convertible Notes due 2024 that

22


Table of Contents

are converted in connection with a Make-Whole Fundamental Change (as defined in the Indenture (the “Indenture”) governing the Convertible Notes due 2024) are, under certain circumstances, entitled to an increase in the conversion rate.

The Company has the option to redeem the Convertible Notes due 2024 for cash on or after the fifth anniversary of issuance at par if the price for the Company’s Class A common stock is equal to or greater than 150% of the then applicable conversion price for 20 or more trading days out of a consecutive 30 day trading period (including the final three trading days), at which time the holders have the option to convert. The Company also has the option to redeem the Convertible Notes due 2024, between the second and third anniversary of issuance, if the reset provision described above is triggered at a redemption price in cash that would result in the noteholders realizing a 15% IRR from the date of issuance regardless of when any particular noteholder acquired its Convertible Notes due 2024. The Company also bifurcated this redemption feature from the principal balance of the Convertible Notes due 2024 and considered it as a part of the overall fair value of the derivative liability. During the three and six months ended June  30, 2019, the Company recorded a gain to other expense for $33.9 million and $20.6 million, respectively, as a decrease in fair value of its derivative liability for the Convertible Notes due 2024.

With certain exceptions, upon a change of control of the Company or if the Company’s Class A common stock is not listed for trading on The New York Stock Exchange, The NASDAQ Global Select Market or The NASDAQ Global Market, the holders of the Convertible Notes due 2024 may require that the Company repurchase in cash all or part of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes due 2024 at a purchase price equal to the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest up to, but excluding, the date of repurchase. The Indenture includes restrictive covenants that, subject to specified exceptions and parameters, limit the ability of the Company to incur additional debt and limit the ability of the Company to incur liens with respect to the Company’s senior subordinated notes or any debt incurred to refinance the Company’s senior subordinated notes. The Indenture also includes customary events of default, which may result in the acceleration of the maturity of the Convertible Notes due 2024 under the Indenture.

The Convertible Notes due 2024 are general unsecured senior obligations of the Company and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several senior unsecured basis by all the Company’s existing and future domestic restricted subsidiaries that guarantee its other indebtedness.

On September 14, 2018, in connection with the issuance of the Convertible Notes due 2024, the Company entered into an investment agreement (the “Investment Agreement”) providing for, among other things, registration rights with respect to the Convertible Notes due 2024 and the shares of Class A common stock underlying the Convertible Notes due 2024. Subject to the terms of the Investment Agreement, the Company was required to file a registration statement with the SEC not later than three months from the issuance date of the Convertible Notes in order to provide for resales of the Convertible Notes due 2024 and the shares of Class A common stock underlying the Convertible Notes to be made on a delayed or continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. The Company filed a registration statement with the SEC on December 14, 2018 to fulfill this requirement.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2018,2019, the Company recorded $0.4$0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively, of cost reductions for general and administrative services provided on behalf of Wanda. Wanda owns Legendary Entertainment, a motion picture production company. The Company will occasionally play Legendary’s films in its theatres as a result of transactions with independent film distributors.

On September 14, 2018, the Company entered into the Investment Agreement with Silver Lake Alpine, L.P., an affiliate of Silver Lake Group, L.L.C. (“Silver Lake”), relating to the issuance to Silver Lake (or its designated affiliates) of $600.0 million principal amount of the Convertible Notes due 2024. See Note 6Corporate Borrowings - Senior Unsecured Convertible Notes due 2024 for more information.

On September 14, 2018, the Company, Silver Lake and Wanda entered into a Right of First Refusal Agreement (the “ ROFR Agreement”), which provides Silver Lake certain rights to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock that Wanda proposes to sell during a period of two years from the date of execution of the ROFR Agreement or, if earlier, until such time that Wanda and its affiliates cease to beneficially own at least 50.1% of the total voting power of the Company’s voting stock. The right of first refusal applies to both registered and unregistered transfers of shares. Under the ROFR Agreement, in the event that Wanda and its affiliates cease to beneficially own at least 50.1% of the total voting power of the Company’s voting stock, then the Company will have the same right of first refusal over sales of the Company’s common stock by Wanda as described above until the expiration of the two-year period beginning on the date of execution of the ROFR Agreement. In such event, the Company may exercise such right to purchase shares from Wanda from time to time pursuant to the ROFR Agreement in its sole discretion, subject to approval by the disinterested directors of the Board. If the Company determines to exercise its right to purchase shares from Wanda pursuant to the ROFR Agreement, it will have the obligation under the Investment Agreement to offer to sell to Silver Lake a like number of shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock, at the same per share price at which it purchased the Wanda shares.

On September 14, 2018, the Company used the proceeds from the Convertible Notes due 2024, and pursuant to a stock repurchase agreement between the Company and Wanda, repurchased 24,057,143 shares of Class B common stock at a price of $17.50 per share or $421.0 million and associated legal fees of $2.6 million. As of June 30, 2019, Wanda owns 49.85% of AMC through its 51,769,784 shares of Class B common stock. With the three-to-one voting ratio between the Company’s Class B and Class A common stock, Wanda retains voting control of AMC with 74.89% of the voting power of the Company’s common stock. As discussed in Note 6Corporate Borrowings up to 5,666,000 shares of Class B common stock are subject to forfeiture for no consideration in connection with the reset provision contained in the Indenture.

Temporary Equity

24

Table of Contents

Certain members of management havehad the right to require Holdings to repurchase the Class A common stock held by them under certain limited circumstances pursuant to the terms of a stockholders’ agreement. Beginning on January 1, 2016 (or upon the termination of a management stockholder’s employment by the Company without cause, by the management stockholder for good reason, or due to the management stockholder’s death or disability) management stockholders will havehad the right, in limited circumstances, to require Holdings to purchase shares that arewere not fully and freely tradeable at a price equal to the price per share paid by such management stockholder with appropriate adjustments for any subsequent events such as dividends, splits, or combinations. The shares of Class A common stock, subject to the stockholder agreement, arewere classified as temporary equity, apart from permanent equity, as a result of the contingent redemption feature contained in the stockholder agreement. The Company determined the amount reflected in temporary equity for the Class A common stock-based on the price paid per share by the management stockholders and Wanda on August 30, 2012, the date Wanda acquired Holdings.

DuringAs of January 1, 2019, the three months ended June 30, 2018, an employeetemporary equity program expired and management employees who held 9,91075,712 shares relinquished histheir put right,rights, therefore the related share amount of $0.1$0.4 million was reclassified to additional paid in capital, a component of stockholders’ equity.

During the six months ended June 30, 2018, a former employee who held 27,195 shares relinquished his put right, therefore the related share amount of $0.3 million was reclassified to additional paid in capital, a component of stockholders’ equity.

During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company determined that achieving the three-year performance thresholds of the 2017 Performance Stock Units and the 2016 Performance Stock Units was improbable and reversed all previously recorded expense and ceased accruing any additional expense on these units. If the Company later determines that the performance thresholds become probable, then historical expense would be reinstated, and the Company would resume recognizing expense.

The RSUs will be settled within 30 days of vesting. A dividend equivalent equal to the amount paid in respect of one share of Class A common stock underlying the RSUs began to accrue with respect to the RSUs on the date of grant. Such accrued dividend equivalents are paid to the holder upon vesting of the RSUs. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company recognized $1.0 million and $1.3 million expense in general and administrative: other expense in connection with these awards.

Performance Stock Unit Award: On March 12, 2018,6, 2019, PSU awards of 653,669730,167 were granted to certain members of management and executive officers, with three-year cumulative adjusted EBITDA, diluted earnings per share, and net profit performance target conditions and service conditions, covering a performance period beginning January 1, 20182019 and ending on December 31, 2020.2021. The PSUs will vest based on achieving 80% to 120% of the performance targets with the corresponding vested unit amount ranging from 30% to 200%. If the performance target is met at 100%, the PSU awards granted on March 12, 2018,6, 2019, will vest at 653,669730,167 units in the aggregate. No PSUs will vest if Holdings does not achieve 80% of the three-year cumulative adjusted EBITDA, diluted earnings per share, and net profit performance target. Additionally, unvested PSU’s shall be ratably forfeited upon termination of service prior to December 31, 2020.2021. If service terminates prior to January 2, 2019,2020, all unvested PSU’s shall be forfeited, if service terminates prior to January 2, 2020,2021, 2/3 of unvested PSU’s shall be forfeited and if service terminates prior to January 4, 2021,2022, 1/3 of unvested PSU’s shall be forfeited. The vested PSUs will be settled within 30 days of vesting which will occur upon certification of performance results by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. A dividend equivalent equal to the amount paid in respect of one share of Class A common stock underlying the PSUs began to accrue with respect to the PSUs on the date of grant.

NOTE 7—8—INCOME TAXES

The Company’s worldwide effective income tax rate is based on expected income, statutory rates, valuation allowances against deferred tax assets and tax planning opportunities available in the various jurisdictions in which it operates. For interim financial reporting, the Company estimates the worldwide annual income tax rate based on projected taxable income for the full year and records a quarterly income tax provision or benefit in accordance with the anticipated annual rate, adjusted for discrete items, if any. The Company refines the estimates of the year’s taxable income as new information becomes available, including actual year-to-date financial results. This continual estimation process often results in a change to the expected worldwide effective income tax rate for the year. When this occurs, the Company adjusts the income tax provision during the quarter in which the change in estimate occurs so that the year-to-date provision reflects the expected income tax rate. Significant judgment is required in determining the effective tax rate. The Company recognizes income tax-related interest expense and penalties as income tax expense and general and administrative expense, respectively.

At June 30, 20182019 and December 31, 2017,2018, the Company has net deferred tax liabilities of $16.1$20.6 million and $20.7$13.0 million, respectively. During the fourth quarter of 2017, the Company determined that it was appropriate to record

25


a valuation allowance against U.S. deferred tax assets. In addition, several international jurisdictions carry valuation allowances against their deferred tax assets. As a result, the effective tax rate for the periodsix months ended June 30, 20182019 reflects the impact of these valuation allowances against U.S. and international deferred tax assets generated during the six month period. For the remainder of 2018,2019, the Company anticipates income tax expense will relate solely to domestic state tax expense, changes in domestic indefinite-lived liabilities, and international tax expense incurred in certain profitable jurisdictions. The Company evaluates its deferred tax assets each period to determine if a valuation allowance is required based on whether it is “more likely than not” that some portion of the deferred tax assets would not be realized. The ultimate realization of these deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of sufficient taxable income during future periods on a federal, state and foreign jurisdiction basis. The Company conducts its evaluation by considering all available positive and negative evidence, including historical operating results, forecasts of future profitability, the duration of statutory carryforward periods, and the outlooks for the U.S. motion picture and broader economy, among others.

The projected worldwide effective tax rate based on annual projected earnings for the year ending December 31, 20182019 is (0.2)(4.5)%. The actual effective rate for the six months ended June 30, 20182019 was 5.0%(16.0)%. The Company’s consolidated tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 20182019 differs from the U.S. statutory tax rate primarily due to the valuation allowances in U.S. and foreign jurisdictions, foreign tax rate differences, federal and state tax credits partially offset by state income taxes, permanent differences related to interest, compensation, and other discrete items.

Tax contingencies and other income tax liabilities were $18.1$25.6 million and $15.3$22.0 million as of June 30, 20182019 and December 31, 2017,2018, respectively, and are included in other long-term liabilities. The increase relates primarily to state income taxes and state income tax credits. The Company also continues to be subject to examination by the IRS and the fiscal year ended March 29, 2012 (tax year 2011) is currently under extended statute. The Company’s operations in certain jurisdictions outside of the U.S. remain subject to examination for tax years 2012 to 2016,2018, some of which are currently under audit by local tax authorities. The resolutions of these audits are not expected to be material to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company believes its allowances for income tax contingencies are adequate. Based on the information currently available, the Company does not anticipate a material (or significant) increase or decrease to its tax contingencies within the next 12 months.

On December 22, 2017, the President of the United States signed into law the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Reform Act”). The legislation significantly changed U.S. tax law by, among other things, lowering corporate income tax rates, implementing a territorial tax system and imposing a repatriation tax on deemed repatriated earnings of foreign subsidiaries. The Tax Reform Act permanently reduced the U.S. corporate income tax rate from a maximum of 35% to a 21% rate, effective January 1, 2018.

While the Tax Reform Act provides for a territorial tax system, beginning in 2018, it includes the global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”) provisions. The GILTI provisions require the Company to include in its U.S. income tax return foreign subsidiary earnings in excess of an allowable return on the foreign subsidiary’s tangible assets. For 2018,2019, the Company has determined the GILTI provisions could accelerate the utilization of its domestic net operating loss carryforwards. However, the Company’s effective tax rate is not impacted due to the valuation allowance established against domestic deferred tax assets in the fourth quarter of 2017.

On December 22, 2017, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“SAB 118”) to address the application of U.S. GAAP in situations when a registrant does not have the necessary information available, prepared, or analyzed (including computations) in reasonable detail to complete the accounting for certain income tax effects of the Tax Reform Act. The Company recognized provisional tax impacts of zero related to the deemed repatriated earnings and the revaluation of deferred tax assets and liabilities in its consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017. The ultimate impact may differ from those provisional amounts, possibly materially, due to, among other things, additional analysis, changes in interpretations and assumptions the Company has made, additional regulatory guidance that may be issued, and actions the Company may take asanticipate a result of the Tax Reform Act. Any adjustments made to the provisional amounts under SAB 118 should be recorded as discrete adjustments in the period identified (not to extend beyond the one-year measurement provided in SAB 118). During the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company did not make any adjustments to its provisional amounts included in its consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017. The accounting is expected to be completed when the 2017 U.S. corporate income tax return is filed in 2018.GILTI inclusion.

NOTE 8—9—FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair value refers to the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the market in which the entity transacts business. The inputs used to develop these fair value measurements are established in a hierarchy, which ranks the quality and reliability of the information used to determine the fair values. The fair value classification is based on levels of inputs. Assets and liabilities that are carried at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following categories:

Level 1:

Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2:

Observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.

Level 3:

Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.

Recurring Fair Value Measurements. The following table summarizes the fair value hierarchy of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2018:2019:

Valuation Techniques. The Company’s money market mutual funds are invested in funds that seek to preserve principal, are highly liquid, and therefore are recorded on the balance sheet at the principal amounts deposited, which equals fair value. See Note 10Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income for the unrealized gain on the equity securities recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income.

Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements.    Equity interestsOn September 14, 2018, the Company issued Convertible Notes due 2024 with a conversion feature that gave rise to an embedded derivative instrument and a stock purchase and cancellation agreement that gave rise to a derivative asset (See Note 6Corporate Borrowings). The derivative features have been valued using a Monte Carlo simulation approach. The Monte Carlo simulation approach consists of simulated common stock prices from the valuation date to the maturity of the Convertible Notes and to September 14, 2020 for the contingent call option for forfeiture shares.

Valuation Technique. Quoted market prices and observable market based inputs were used to estimate fair value for Level 2 inputs. The Level 3 fair value measurement represents the transaction price of the corporate borrowings under market conditions. On September 14, 2018, the Company issued $600.0 million of Convertible Notes due 2024. These notes were issued by private placement, as such there is no observable market for these Convertible Notes. The Company valued these notes at principal value less a discount reflecting a market yield to maturity. See Note 6Corporate Borrowings for further information.

NOTE 11—OPERATING SEGMENTS

The Company reports information about operating segments in accordance with ASC 280-10, Segment Reporting, which requires financial information to be reported based on the way management organizes segments within a company for making operating decisions and evaluating performance. Beginning with the Company’s acquisition of Odeon in 2016, theThe Company has identified two reportable segments and reporting units for its theatrical exhibition operations, U.S. markets and International markets. The International markets reportable segments consist of two operating segments (Odeon Theatres and Nordic Theatres) withsegment has operations in or partial interest in theatres in the United Kingdom, Germany, Spain, Italy, Ireland, Austria, Portugal, Sweden, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway, and Denmark. Each segment’s revenue is derived from admissions, food and beverage sales and other ancillary revenues, primarily screen advertising, AMC Stubs® membership fees and other loyalty programs, ticket sales, gift card income and exchange ticket income. The two international operating segments are combined into one reportable segment (International markets) because they have similar economic characteristics and meet the aggregation criteria described in the accounting guidance for segment reporting. The measure of segment profit and loss the Company uses to evaluate performance and allocate its resources is Adjusted EBITDA, as defined in the reconciliation table below. The Company does not report asset information by segment because that information is not used to evaluate the performance of or allocate resources between segments.

Below is a breakdown of select financial information by reportable operating segment:

(1)

The Company presents Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure of its performance. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net earnings (loss) plus (i) income tax provision (benefit), (ii) interest expense and (iii)

30


depreciation and amortization, as further adjusted to eliminate the impact of certain items that the Company

32

does not consider indicative of its ongoing operating performance and to include attributable EBITDA from equity investments in theatre operations in international markets and any cash distributions of earnings from its other equity method investees. The measure of segment profit and loss the Company uses to evaluate performance and allocate its resources is Adjusted EBITDA, which is consistent with how Adjusted EBITDA is defined in ourits debt indentures.

(2)

Distributions from NCM are reported entirely within the U.S. markets segment.

Attributable EBITDA includes the EBITDA from equity investments in theatre operators in certain international markets. See below for a reconciliation of the Company’s equity loss of non-consolidated entities to attributable EBITDA. Because these equity investments are in theatre operators in regions where the Company holds a significant market share, the Company believes attributable EBITDA is more indicative of the performance of these equity investments and management uses this measure to monitor and evaluate these equity investments. The Company also provides services to these theatre operators including information technology systems, certain on-screen advertising services and ourits gift card and package ticket program. As these investments relate only to our Nordic acquisition, the second quarter of 2017 represents the first time the Company made this adjustment and does not impact prior historical presentations of Adjusted EBITDA.

NOTE 13—COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company, in the normal course of business, is a party to various ordinary course claims from vendors (including food and beverage suppliers and film distributors), landlords, competitors, and other legal proceedings. If management believes that a loss arising from these actions is probable and can reasonably be estimated, the Company records the amount of the loss, or the minimum estimated liability when the loss is estimated using a range and no point is more probable than another. As additional information becomes available, any potential liability related to these actions is assessed and the estimates are revised, if necessary. Management believes that the ultimate outcome of such matters discussed below, individually and in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or overall trends in results of operations. However, litigation and claims are subject to inherent uncertainties and unfavorable outcomes can occur. An unfavorable outcome might include monetary damages. If an unfavorable outcome were to occur, there exists the possibility of a material adverse impact on the results of operations in the period in which the outcome occurs or in future periods.

On January 12, 2018 and January 19, 2018, two putative federal securities class actions, captioned Hawaii Structural Iron workersIronworkers Pension Trust Fund v. AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc., et al., Case No. 1:18-cv-00299-AJN (the “Hawaii Action”), and Nichols v. AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc., et al., Case No. 1:18-cv-00510-AJN (the “Nichols Action,” and together with the Hawaii Action, the “Actions”), respectively, were filed against the Company in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York.  The Actions, which name certain of the Company’s officers and directors and, in the case of the Hawaii Action, the underwriters of the Company’s February 8, 2017 secondary public offering, as defendants, assertasserted claims under some or all of Sections 11, 12(a)(2) and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933 and Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 with respect to alleged material misstatements and omissions in the registration statement for the secondary public offering and in certain other public disclosures. On May 30, 2018, the court consolidated the Actions and appointed the International Union of Operating Engineers Pension Fund of Eastern Pennsylvania and Delaware as lead plaintiff. On August 13, 2018, lead plaintiff and additional named plaintiff Hawaii Structural Ironworkers Pension Trust Fund (“Plaintiffs”) filed an Amended Class Action Complaint. On November 21, 2018, Plaintiffs filed a Second Amended Class Action Complaint.

35

On January 22, 2019, the defendants moved to dismiss the Second Amended Class Action Complaint.

On May 21, 2018, a stockholder derivative complaint, captioned Gantulga v. Aron, et al., Case No. 2:18-cv-02262-JAR-TJJ (the “Gantulga Action”), was filed against certain of the Company’s officers and directors in the U.S. District Court for the District of Kansas. The Gantulga Action, which was filed on behalf of the Company, asserts claims under Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and for breaches of fiduciary duty and unjust enrichment based on allegations substantially similar to the Actions.

On June 25,August 27, 2018, defendants and the Company as nominal defendant filed a motion to dismiss or, in the alternative, to transfer the action to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. On September 17, 2018, plaintiff filed an amended complaint. On October 12, 2018, the Company receivedparties filed a letter fromjoint motion to transfer the action to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, which the court granted on October 15, 2018. When the action was transferred to the Southern District of New York, it was re-captioned Gantulga v. Aron, et al., Case No. 1:18-cv-10007-AJN. The parties filed a purportedjoint stipulation to stay the action, which the court granted on December 17, 2018.

On April 22, 2019, a putative stockholder demanding to inspectclass and derivative complaint, captioned Lao v. Dalian Wanda Group Co., Ltd., et al., C.A. No. 2019-0303-JRS (the “Lao Action”), was filed against certain of the Company’s booksdirectors, Dalian Wanda Group Co., Ltd. (“Wanda”), two of Wanda’s affiliates, Silver Lake Group, L.L.C. (“Silver Lake”), and records pursuantone of Silver Lake’s affiliates in the Delaware Court of Chancery. The Lao Action asserts claims directly, on behalf of a putative class of Company stockholders, and derivatively, on behalf of the Company, for breaches of fiduciary duty and aiding and abetting breaches of fiduciary duty with respect to 8 Del. C. § 220 in ordertransactions that the Company entered into with affiliates of Wanda and Silver Lake on September 14, 2018, and the special cash dividend of $1.55 per share of common stock that was payable on September 28, 2018 to the Company’s stockholders of record as of September 25, 2018. On July 18, 2019, the Company’s Board of Directors formed a Special Litigation Committee to investigate and evaluate the claims and allegations substantially similar to those allegedasserted in the Actions (the “Demand”).  On July 2, 2018,Lao Action and make a determination as to how the Company rejectedshould proceed with respect to the Demand.Lao Action.

The Company believesremains contingently liable for lease payments under certain leases of theatres that it previously divested, in the claims lack merit and intendsevent that such assignees are unable to vigorously defend all claims asserted.

On May 28, 2015,fulfill their future lease payment obligations. Due to the variety of remedies available, the Company receivedbelieves that if the current tenant defaulted on the leases it would not have a Civil Investigative Demand (“CID”) frommaterial effect on the Antitrust DivisionCompany’s financial condition, results of the United States Department of Justice in connection with an investigation under Sections 1 and 2 of the Sherman Antitrust Act. Beginning in May 2015, the Company also received CIDs from the Attorneys General for the States of Ohio, Texas, Washington, Florida, New York, Kansas, and from the District of Columbia, regarding similar inquiries under those states’ antitrust laws. The CIDs requested the production of documents and answers to interrogatories concerning potentially anticompetitive conduct, including film clearances and participation in certain joint ventures. The Company may receive additional CIDs from antitrust authorities in other jurisdictions in which it operates. The Company does not believe it has violated federaloperations or state antitrust laws and is cooperating with the relevant governmental authorities. However, the Company cannot predict the ultimate scope, duration or outcome of these investigations.cash flows.

NOTE 14—13—EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

Basic net earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net earnings (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share includes the effects of unvested RSU’s with a service condition only and unvested contingently issuable RSUs and PSUs that have service and performance conditions, if dilutive, as well as potential dilutive shares from the conversion feature of the Convertible Notes due 2024, if dilutive.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per common share:

Vested RSUs and PSU’s have dividend rights identical to the Company’s Class A and Class B common stock and are treated as outstanding shares for purposes of computing basic and diluted earnings per share. Certain unvested RSUs and unvested PSUs are subject to performance conditions and are included in diluted earnings per share, if dilutive, based on the number of shares, if any, that would be issuable under the terms of the Company’s 2013 Equity Incentive Plan if the end of the reporting period were the end of the contingency period. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, unvested PSU’s of 502,858 at the minimum performance target were not included in the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share because they would not be issuable if the end of the reporting period were the end of the contingency period.

During the six months ended June 30, 2018, unvested PSU’s of 411,657 at the minimum performance target were not included in the computation of diluted earnings (loss)loss per share since the shares would not be issuable under the terms of the Plan, if the end of the reporting period were the end of the contingency period and they would also be anti-dilutive. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, unvested RSU’s of 902,004 were not included in the computation of diluted earnings (loss)loss per share because they would be anti-dilutive.

The Company uses the if-converted method for calculating any potential dilutive effect of the Convertible Notes due 2024 that were issued on September 14, 2018. The Company has not adjusted net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2019 to eliminate the interest expense and the gain for the derivative liability related to the Convertible Notes due 2024 of $16.0 million and $20.6 million, respectively in the computation of diluted loss per share because the effects would be anti-dilutive. The Company has not included in diluted weighted average shares approximately 31.7 million shares issuable upon conversion for the six months ended June 30, 2019, as the effects would be anti-dilutive. Based on the current conversion price of $18.95 per share the Convertible Notes due 2024 are convertible into 31,662,269 Class A common shares.

Overview

AMC is the world’s largest theatrical exhibition company and an industry leader in innovation and operational excellence. We operate theatres in 15 countries and are the market leader in nine of those. In the United States, AMC has the No. 1 or No. 2 market share in the top three markets, New York, Los Angeles and Chicago.

Our theatrical exhibition revenues are generated primarily from box office admissions and theatre food and beverage sales. The balance of our revenues are generated from ancillary sources, including on-screen advertising, fees earned from our AMC Stubs® customer frequency membership program, rental of theatre auditoriums, income from gift card and exchange ticket sales, on-line ticketing fees and arcade games located in theatre lobbies. As of June 30, 2018,2019, we owned, operated or had interests in 1,0051,004 theatres and 10,98811,036 screens.

Film Content

Box office admissions are our largest source of revenue. We predominantly license “first-run” films from distributors owned by major film production companies and from independent distributors on a film-by-film and theatre-by-theatre basis. Film exhibition costs are accrued based on the applicable admissions revenues and estimates of the final settlement pursuant to our film licenses. Licenses that we enter into typically state that rental fees are based on aggregate

47

terms established prior to the opening of the picture. In certain circumstances and less frequently, our rental fees are based on a mutually agreed settlement upon the conclusion of the picture. Under an aggregate terms formula, we pay the distributor a specified percentage of box office gross or pay based on a scale of percentages tied to different amounts of

49

Table of Contents

box office gross. The settlement process allows for negotiation based upon how a film actually performs.

During the 2017 calendar year, films licensed from our seven largest distributors based on revenues accounted for approximately 88% of our U.S. admissions revenues. In Europe, approximately 77% of our box office revenue came from films attributed to our six largest distributors. Our revenues attributable to individual distributors may vary significantly from year to year depending upon the commercial success of each distributor’s films in any given year.

Our revenues are dependent upon the timing and popularity of film releases by distributors. The most marketable films have historically been released during the summer and the calendar year-end holiday seasons. Our results of operations may vary significantly from quarter to quarter and from year to year based on the timing onand popularity of film releases.

AMC Movie Screens

During the six months ended June 30, 2018,2019, we opened four new theatres with a total of 40 screens, acquired three theatres with 3137 screens, permanently closed 134104 screens, temporarily closed 274236 screens and reopened 156184 screens to implement our strategy to install consumer experience upgrades.

As of June 30, 2018,2019, we had 5,4285,344 3D enabled screens, including 212218 IMAX®, and 101113 Premium Large Format (“PLF”) screens; approximately 49% of our screens were 3D enabled screens, including IMAX® 3D enabled screens, and approximately 2% of our screens were IMAX® 3D enabled screens.

IMAX®.  IMAX® is one of the world’s leading entertainment technology companies, specializing in motion picture technologies and presentations. IMAX® offers a unique end-to-end cinematic solution combining proprietary software, theater architecture and equipment to create the highest-quality, most immersive motion picture experience for which the IMAX® brand has become known globally. Top filmmakers and studios utilize IMAX® theaters to connect with audiences in innovative ways, and as such, IMAX®’s theater network is among the most important and successful theatrical distribution platforms for major event films around the world.

As of June 30, 2018, AMC is the largest IMAX® exhibitor in the U.S. with a 51% market share, and each of our IMAX® local installations is protected by geographic exclusivity. As of June 30, 2018, our IMAX® screen count is 98% greater than our closest competitor. We believe that we have had considerable success with our IMAX® partnership. 

Dolby Cinema™ at AMC.  In May 2015, we partnered with Dolby Laboratories, Inc. to unveil a premium cinema offering for movie-goers that combined state-of-the-art image and sound technologies with inspired theatre design and comfort. Dolby Cinema™ at AMC includes Dolby Vision™ laser projection and object oriented Dolby Atmos® audio technology, as well as AMC’s plush power reclining seats with seat transducers that vibrate with the action on screen.

As of June 30, 2018, we have 106 fully operational Dolby Cinema™ at AMC screens in the U.S. In August 2016, we announced the acceleration of our Dolby Cinema™ at AMC deployment. We expect to have 128 Dolby Cinema™ at AMC screens operational by the end of 2018.

Prime at AMC. We believe there is considerable opportunity to add a private label PLF format in many of our locations, with superior sight and sound technology and enhanced seating as contrasted with our traditional auditoriums. This proprietary PLF auditorium offers an enhanced theatrical experience for movie-goers beyond our current core theatres, at a lower price premium when higher prices for IMAX® and/or Dolby Cinema™ at AMC might not be feasible. Therefore, it may be especially relevant in smaller or more price sensitive markets.

Technical innovation has allowed us to enhance the consumer experience through premium formats such as 3D, IMAX®, and other large screen formats. When combined with our major markets’ customer base, the operating flexibility of digital technology enhances our programming flexibility. This enables us to achieve higher capacity utilization and ticket prices for premium formats, as well as provide incremental revenue from the exhibition of alternative content. Within each of our major markets, we are able to charge a premium for these services relative to our smaller markets. We intend to continue to broaden our content offerings and enhance the customer experience in operating IMAX® screens and through the installation of additional Dolby Cinema™ at AMC screens, our PLF screen concepts, and the presentation of attractive alternative content.

Guest Amenities

We continually upgrade the quality of our theatre circuit through substantial renovations featuring our seating concepts, acquisitions, new builds (including expansions), expansion of food and beverage offerings (including dine-in theatres), and by disposing of older screens through closures and sales. We believe we are an industry leader in the development and operation of theatres. Typically, our theatres have 12 or more screens and offer amenities to enhance the movie-going experience, such as stadium seating providing unobstructed viewing, digital sound and premium seat design.

Recliner seating is the key feature of theatre renovations. We believe that maximizing comfort and convenience for our customers will be increasingly necessary to maintain and improve our relevance.renovations, which drive a 36% increase in attendance at these locations in their first year post renovation. These renovations, in conjunction with capital contributions from our landlords, involve stripping theatres to their basic structure in order to replace finishes throughout, upgrade the sight and sound experience, install modernized points of sale and most importantly, replace traditional theatre seats with plush, electric recliners that allow customers to deploy a leg rest and fully recline at the push of a button. The renovation process typically involves losing up to two-thirds of a given auditorium’s seating capacity. For an industry historically focused on quantity, this reduction in seating capacity could be viewed as counter-intuitive and harmful to revenues. However, the quality improvement in the customer experience is driving a 48% increase in attendance on average at these locations in their first-year post renovation. Our customers have responded favorably to the significant personal space gains from ample row depths, ability to recline or stretch their legs, extra-wide pillowed chaise and oversized armrests. The reseated theatres attract more midweek audiences than normal theatres and tend to draw more adults who pay higher ticket prices than teens or young children. We typically do not change ticket prices in the first year after construction, however, in subsequent years we typically increase our ticket prices at our reseated theatres by amounts well in excess of price adjustments for our non-renovated theatres.recliners.

As of June 30, 2018,2019, we now feature recliner seating in approximately 295369 theatres, including Dine-in-Theatres, totaling approximately 2,8623,476 screens. By the end of 2018,2019, we expect to convert an additional 421406 screens to recliner seating.

Rebalancing of the new supply-demand relationship created by recliner seating presents us two further opportunities to improve customer convenience and maximize operating results: open-source internet ticketing and reserved seating.

Open-source internet ticketing makes our AMC seats (over 1.1 million) in all our U.S. theatres and auditoriums, for all our showtimes widelyas available as possible, on as many websites as possible. This is a significant departure from the years prior to 2012, when tickets to any one of our theatres were only available on one website. Our tickets are currently on sale over the internet, directly or through mobile apps, at our own website and app, Fandango, Movietickets.com, Flixster, and Atom Tickets. We believe increased online access is important because it captures customers’ purchase intent more immediately and directly than if we wait for their arrival at the theatre box office to make a purchase. Carefully monitoring internet pre-sales also lets us adjust capacity in real time, moving movies that are poised to over perform to larger capacity auditoriums or adding additional auditoriums, thereby maximizing yield.

49


Food and beverage sales are our second largest source of revenue after box office admissions. Food and beverage items traditionally include popcorn, soft drinks, candy and hot dogs. Different varieties of food and beverage items are offered at our theatres based on preferences in the particular geographic region. Our traditional food and beverage strategy emphasizes prominent and appealing food and beverage offerings designed for rapid service and efficiency, including a customer friendly self-serve experience. We design our theatres to have more food and beverage capacity to make it easier to serve larger numbers of customers. Strategic placement of large food and beverage operations within theatres increases their visibility, aids in reducing the length of lines, allows flexibility to introduce new concepts and improves traffic flow around the food and beverage stands.

To address recent consumer trends, we are expanding our

Our expanded menu ofincludes enhanced food and beverage products to include made-to-order drinks and meals, customized coffee, healthy snacks, premium beers, wine and mixed drinks, flatbread pizzas, more varieties of hot dogs, four flavors of popcorn and other menu items. We plan to invest across a spectrum of enhanced food and beverage formats, ranging from simple, less capital-intensive food and beverage design improvements to the development of new dine-in theatre options. The costs of these conversions in some cases are partially covered by investments from the theatre landlord. We currently operate 3028 Dine-In Theatres that deliver chef-inspired menus with seat-side or delivery service to luxury recliners with tables. Our recent Dine-In Theatre concepts are designed to capitalize on the latest food service trend, the fast casual eating experience.

AMC Stubs®

AMC Stubs® is a customer loyalty program for our U.S. markets which allows members to earn rewards, receive discounts and participate in exclusive members-only offerings and services. It features both a traditional paid tier called AMC Stubs PremiereTMand a new non-paid tier called AMC Stubs InsiderTM. Both programs reward loyal guests for their patronage of AMC Theatres. The

On June 26, 2018, we launched AMC Stubs InsiderTM tier rewards guests for simply coming to the movies and benefits include free refills on certain food items, discount ticket offers, a birthday gift and 20 reward points earned for every dollar spent. For a $15 annual membership fee, AMC Stubs PremiereTM members enjoy express service with specially marked shorter lines at the box office and concession stand, free size upgrades on certain food and beverage items, discount ticket offers, a birthday gift, discounted online ticketing fees and 100 points for every dollar spent. Some of the rewards earned are redeemable on future purchases at AMC locations.

On June 20, 2018, we announced the launch of AMC Stubs® A-List, a new VIP tier of our AMC Stubs® loyalty program for $19.95 per month.program. This program will offeroffers guests admission to the very best ofmovies at AMC up to three times per week including multiple movies per day and repeat visits to already seen movies.movies for $19.95 to $23.95 per month depending upon geographic market. AMC Stubs® A-List also includes premium offerings including IMAX®, Dolby Cinema™ at AMC, RealD Holdings Inc., Prime and BigD. AMC Stubs® A-List members can book tickets on-line in advance and select specific seats at AMC Theatres with reserved seating.

As of June 30, 2018,2019, we had 15,279,00020,875,000 member households in the AMC Stubs® program. AMC Stubs® members represented approximately 32%46% of AMC U.S. markets attendance during the three months ended June 30, 2018,2019, driving an average 188%2.0x higher total gross revenue versus non-members. We believe movie-goers want to be recognized and rewarded for attending our theatres and as a result, our new AMC Stubs® program is designed to strengthen guest loyalty, attract new guests and drive additional return visits. Our much larger database of identified movie-goers also provides us with additional insight into our customers’ movie preferences, and this enables us to have both a larger and a more targeted marketing effort to support our Hollywood studio partners.

The portion of the admissions and food and beverage revenues attributed to the rewards is deferred as a reduction of admissions and food and beverage revenues and is allocated between admissions and food and beverage revenues based on expected member redemptions.

Upon redemption, deferred rewards are recognized as revenues along with associated cost of goods. Prior to January 1, 2018, rewards for expired memberships were forfeited based upon specified periods of inactivity of the membership and recognized as admissions or food and beverage revenues. As of January 1, 2018, we changed our method for recognizing forfeited rewards from the remote method to the proportional method, where weWe estimate point breakage in assigning value to the points at the time of sale based on historical trends. The program’s annual

50


membership fee is allocated to the material rights for discounted or free products and services and is initially deferred, net of estimated refunds, and recognized as the rights are redeemed based on estimated utilization, over the one-year membership period in admissions, food and beverage, and other revenues. A portion of the revenues related to a material right are deferred as a virtual rewards performance obligation using the relative standalone selling price method and are recognized as the rights are redeemed or expire.

Significant Events

Critical Accounting Policies – Income Taxesand Estimates

In the fourth quarter of calendar 2017, we recorded the impact of the change in the U.S. enacted federal income tax rate from 35% to 21% which reduced our deferred tax assets. During the fourth quarter and in connection with the preparation of our 2017 financial statements, we also determined that realization of our deferred tax assets in the U.S. tax jurisdictions was not more likely than not, primarily as a result of cumulative net losses recorded for three years and we recorded a full valuation allowance for our deferred tax assets in U.S. tax jurisdictions. As a result of the change in enacted tax rate and recording a full valuation allowance for our deferred tax assets in U.S. tax jurisdictions, we recorded a charge to income tax provision in the fourth quarter of approximately $310.0 million. See Note 7–Income Taxes in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements under Part I, hereof for further information.

Critical Accounting Policies – Goodwill

Goodwill. We evaluate the goodwill recorded at our two reporting units (Domestic Theatres and International Theatres) for impairment annually as of the beginning of the fourth fiscal quarter or more frequently as specific events or circumstances dictate. Prior to calendar 2019 we evaluated our recorded goodwill for impairment at three reporting units (Domestic Theatres, Odeon Theatres and Nordic Theatres). Our market capitalization has been below carrying value since May 24, 2019.

A decline in our common stock price and the resulting impact on market capitalization is one of several qualitative factorsevents and circumstances we consider when making this evaluation. Based on declines in the trading price of our Class A common stock, we performeddetermining if goodwill should be evaluated for impairment at an interim goodwill impairment test as of September 30,period.

2017. We performed a qualitative assessment as of December 31, 2017, March 31, 2018 and June 30, 2018. We considered the potential for changes in the inputs utilized in our prior quantitative analyses as of September 30, 2017 and our actual cashflows from September 30, 2017 through June 30, 2018 which were consistent with our projections of cashflows for our three reporting units and concluded there were no qualitative factors that would indicate it is more likely than not that the fair value of any of our reporting units is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill as of June 30, 2018.

The recent decline in the trading price of our Class A common stock was not considered to be a sustained decline and therefore is not an event that would require us to evaluate goodwill for impairment as of June 30, 2019.

We have previously performed a quantitative analysis of the goodwill recorded in our 3 reporting units (Domestic Theatres, Odeon Theatres and Nordic Theatres) for impairment as of September 30, 2017 based on declines in the trading price of our Class A common stock and poor box office performance during 2017 and, most recently for our Odeon Theatres and Nordic Theatres reporting units as of October 1, 2018, based on declines in their operating results compared to the prior year and in advance of combining Odeon Theatres and Nordic Theatres reporting units into a single reporting unit International Theatres. We have not recorded any goodwill impairment to date as a result of these evaluations.

If the current market price of our common stock declinesdoes not increase from current levels in the near future, or if other events or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of our reporting units below their respective carrying value,values, all or a portion of our goodwill may be impaired in future periods. Examples of such adverse events or circumstances that could change include (i) an adverse change in macroeconomic conditions; (ii) increased cost factors that have a negative effect on our earnings and cash flows; (iii) negative or overall declining financial performance compared with our actual and projected results of relevant prior periods; and (iv) a sustained decrease in our share price. Any impairment charges that we may take in the future could be material to our results of operations and financial condition. Our closing price per share

Leases. We adopted ASC Topic 842 effective January 1, 2019 and as a result our common stocklease accounting policy has been modified as discussed in Note 2Leases in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements under Item 1. Lessees are required to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for virtually all of their leases (other than leases that meet the definition of a short-term lease). The liability is in excessequal to the present value of our $15.44 carrying value per sharelease payments. The asset is based on the liability, subject to certain adjustments, such as of June 30, 2018.

NCM.  As of June 30, 2018, we owned 21,477,480 common membership units in NCM,for lease incentives. For financial presentation purposes, a dual model was retained, requiring leases to be classified as held for sale. In March 2018, we recordedeither operating or finance leases. Operating leases result in straight-line expense (similar to operating leases under the line item, Equityprior accounting standard) while finance leases result in loss of non-consolidated entities, a lower of carrying value or fair value impairment charge of $16.0 million,front-loaded expense pattern (similar to reducecapital leases under the carryingprior accounting standard). We used our incremental borrowing rate to calculate the present value of our held-for-sale interests in NCM common units and NCM, Inc. common sharesfuture operating lease payments, which was determined using a portfolio approach based on the rate of interest that we would have to Level 1 fair value as of March 31, 2018. The impairment charge reflects recording our held-for-sale units and shares at the publicly quoted per share price on March 31, 2018 of $5.19. 

On June 18, 2018, the Company entered into two Unit Purchase Agreements (the “Agreements”) with each of Regal Cinemas, Inc. (“Regal”) and Cinemark USA, Inc. (“Cinemark”) pursuantpay to which Regal and Cinemark each separately agreed to purchase 10,738,740 common units of NCM at a sales price of $7.30 per unit and aggregate consideration of approximately $156.8 million (the “Sales”). The Sales closed on July 5, 2018. Following the closing of the Sales, the Company will no longer own any shares of common stock NCM, Inc. or NCM. NCM has consentedborrow an amount equal to the Sales and waived its rights under the memorandum of understanding that provided the Company would not reduce its combined ownership of NCM and NCM, Inc. below 4.5%. We expect to record a gain on sale of approximately

$30.0 million during the three months ended September 30, 2018. We are in full compliance with the DOJ final judgment.

Screenvision Merger.  On May 30, 2018 Screenvision entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger under which a change of control in Screenvision occurred upon consummation of the transactions contemplated therein. We received distributions and merger consideration of $45.9 million on July 2, 2018 upon consummation of the merger and retain a 21.2% common membership interest in Screenvisionlease payments on a fully diluted basis. We expect to reduce the carrying value of our investment in Screenvision to $0 and record equity in earnings for the excess distribution of approximately $30.0 million during the three months ended September 30, 2018.collateralized basis over a similar term.

Sale and Leaseback Transaction: On June 18, 2018, we completed the sale and leaseback of the real estate assets associated with one theatre for proceeds, net of closing costs, of $50.1 million. The gain on the sale of approximately $27.4 million has been deferred and will be amortized over the remaining lease term.

During the six months ended June 30, 20182019 and June 30, 2017,2018, we paid dividends and dividend equivalents of $51.4$42.6 million and $52.5$51.4 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2018,2019, we accrued $0.9$3.8 million for the remaining unpaid dividends.

On July 24, 2018,August 2, 2019, we declared a cash dividend in the amount of $0.20 per share ofon our Class A and Class B common stock, payable on September 24, 201823, 2019 to stockholders of record on September 10, 2018.9, 2019.

Stock Repurchases. On August 3, 2017, we announced that our Board of Directors had approved a $100.0 million share repurchase program to repurchase our Class A common stock over a two-year period.

Repurchases may be made at management's discretion from time to time through open-market transactions including block purchases, through privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise over the next two years in accordance with all applicable securities laws and regulations. The extent to which AMC repurchases its shares, and the timing of such repurchases, will depend upon a variety of factors, including liquidity, capital needs of the business, market conditions, regulatory requirements, and other corporate considerations, as determined by AMC’s management team. Repurchases may be made under a Rule 10b5-1 plan, which would permit common stock to be repurchased when our management might otherwise be precluded from doing so under insider trading laws. The repurchase program does not obligate us to repurchase any minimum dollar amount or number of shares and may be suspended for periods or discontinued at any time. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, we repurchased 500,000 shares of Class A common stock at a cost of $8.2 million. As of June 30, 2018,2019, we had $44.3 million remaining available for repurchases under this plan. This program expired on August 2, 2019, we repurchased 3,695,856 shares for approximately $55.7 million and an average price of $14.87 per share.

Nordic Acquisition.AMC Shares Repurchased from Wanda. On March 28, 2017,September 14, 2018, we completedissued $600.0 million of Convertible Notes due 2024. Using proceeds from the acquisitionConvertible Notes, we repurchased 24,057,143 shares at a price of Nordic Cinema Group.$17.50 per share or $421.0 million and associated legal fees of $2.6 million. As such, three months of Nordic financial results are included in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis for the three months ended June 30, 2017, while three months and four days2019, Wanda owns 49.85% of Nordic financial results are included forAMC through its 51,769,784 shares of Class B common stock. With the six months ended June 30, 2017 and six months3 to 1 voting rights of Nordic financial results are included for the six months ended June 30, 2018.Class B common shares, Wanda retains voting control of AMC.

Adjusted EBITDA

We present Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure of our performance. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net earnings (loss) plus (i) income tax provision (benefit), (ii) interest expense and (iii) depreciation and amortization, as further adjusted to eliminate the impact of certain items that we do not consider indicative of our ongoing operating performance and to include attributable EBITDA from equity investments in theatre operations in international markets and any cash distributions of earnings from other equity method investees. These further adjustments are itemized below. You are encouraged to evaluate these adjustments and the reasons we consider them appropriate for supplemental analysis. In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses that are the

56

same as or similar to some of the adjustments in this presentation. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items.

Adjusted EBITDA increaseddecreased by $109.0$7.2 million or 80.3% during the three months ended June 30, 20182019 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2017. Adjusted EBITDA in U.S. markets increased by $107.2 million or 93.2% primarily due to increases in attendance and decreases in rent expense related to a lease modification during the three months ended June 30, 2018. Adjusted EBITDA in U.S. markets decreased by $20.1 million primarily due to the modification of a lease in the prior year that reduced rent expense in 2018 by $10.8 million and increased rent due to the new lease standard ASC 842 that reduced Adjusted EBITDA by approximately $12.8 million. Adjusted EBITDA in international markets increased $1.8$12.9 million or 8.7% primarily due to increases in attendance, partially offset by increased rent due to the new lease standard ASC 842 that reduced Adjusted EBITDA by approximately $9.9 million, and a decrease in foreign currency translation.translation rates. See Note 2Leases in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements under Item 1 for the impact of ASC 842.

Adjusted EBITDA increaseddecreased by $135.8$176.9 million or 35.1% during the six months ended June 30, 20182019 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2017. Adjusted EBITDA in U.S. markets increased by $117.6 million or 37.6% primarily due to increases in attendance and decreases in rent expense related to a lease modification during the six months ended June 30, 2018. Adjusted EBITDA in internationalU.S. markets increased $18.2decreased by $151.0 million or 24.6% primarily due to increasesdecreases in attendance, from the Nordic acquisition on March 28, 2017modification of a lease in the prior year that reduced rent expense in 2018 by $35.0 million and increased rent due to the new lease standard ASC 842 that reduced Adjusted EBITDA by approximately $25.6 million. Adjusted EBITDA in international markets decreased $25.9 million primarily due to increased rent due to the new lease standard ASC 842 that reduced Adjusted EBITDA by approximately $19.8 million, decreases in attendance and a decrease in foreign currency translation.translation rates. See Note 2Leases in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements under Item 1 for the impact of ASC 842.

We believe including cash distributionsis an appropriatereflection ofthe contribution of the contribution of these investments to our operations.

(4)

Attributable EBITDA includes the EBITDA from equity investments in theatre operators in certain international markets. See below for a reconciliation of our equity (earnings) loss of non-consolidated entities to attributable EBITDA. Because these equity investments are in theatre operators in regions where we hold a significant market share, we believe attributable EBITDA is more indicative of the performance of these equity investments and management uses this measure to monitor and evaluate these equity investments. We also provide services to these theatre operators including information technology systems, certain on-screen advertising services and our gift card and package ticket program. As these investments relate only to our Nordic acquisition, the second quarter of 2017 represents the first time we made this adjustment and does not impact prior historical presentations of Adjusted EBITDA.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure commonly used in our industry and should not be construed as an alternative to net earnings (loss) as an indicator of operating performance (as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP). Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

58

We have included Adjusted EBITDA because we believe it provides management and investors with additional information to measure our performance and estimate our value.

Adjusted EBITDA has important limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under U.S. GAAP. For example, Adjusted EBITDA:

·

does not reflect our capital expenditures, future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;

·

does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;

60


·

does not reflect the significant interest expenses, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our debt;

·

excludes income tax payments that represent a reduction in cash available to us;

·

does not reflect any cash requirements for the assets being depreciated and amortized that may have to be replaced in the future; and

·

does not reflect the impact of divestitures that may bewere required in connection with recently completed acquisitions.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our consolidated revenues are primarily collected in cash, principally through box office admissions and food and beverage sales. We have an operating “float” which partially finances our operations, and which generally permits us to maintain a smaller amount of working capital capacity. This float exists because admissions revenues are received in cash, while exhibition costs (primarily film rentals) are ordinarily paid to distributors from 20 to 45 days following receipt of box office admissions revenues. Film distributors generally release the films which they anticipate will be the most successful during the summer and year-end holiday seasons. Consequently, we typically generate higher revenues during such periods.

We had working capital deficits (excluding restricted cash) as of June 30, 20182019 and December 31, 20172018 of $(413.51,134.6 million) and $(545.3557.5 million), respectively. Working capital included $311.2$570.8 million and $401.0$0 of operating lease liabilities as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. Working capital included $369.8 million and $414.8 million of deferred revenues as of June 30, 20182019 and December 31, 2017,2018, respectively. We have the ability to borrow under our Revolving Credit Facility to meet obligations as they come due (subject to limitations on the incurrence of indebtedness in our various debt instruments). As of June 30, 2018,2019, we had $210.8$211.6 million available for borrowing, net of letters of credit, under our Revolving Credit Facility. We also maintain a £100.0 million ($132.1127.0 million based on the foreign currency translation rate of 1.321.2699 on June 30, 2018)2019) revolving credit facility at our Odeon subsidiarysubsidiary.

We believe that cash generated from operations, existing cash and cash equivalents, availability under our Revolving Credit Facility and Odeon’s Revolving Credit Facility, and closing and collecting proceeds from the sales of non-strategic assetsrevolving credit facility will be sufficient to fund operations, planned capital expenditures dividends and repurchases of our common stockdividends currently and for at least the next 12 months and enable us to maintain compliance with all financial debt covenants.

As of June 30, 2018,2019, we were in compliance with all financial debt covenants.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

In the ordinary course of business, our financial results are exposed to fluctuations toin interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. In accordance with applicable guidance, we presented a sensitivity analysis showing the potential impact to net income of changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. For the six months ended June 30, 2018,2019, our analysis utilized a hypothetical 100 basis-point increase or decrease to the average interest rate on our variable rate debt instruments to illustrate the potential impact to interest expense of changes in interest rates. For the six months ended June 30, 2018,2019, our analysis utilized a hypothetical 100 basis-point increase or decrease to market interest rates on our fixed rate debt instruments to illustrate the potential impact to fair value of changes in interest rates.

Similarly, for the same period, our analysis used a uniform and hypothetical 10% strengthening of the U.S. dollar versus the average exchange rates of applicable currencies to depict the potential impact to net income of changes in foreign exchange rates. These market risk instruments and the potential impacts to the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the current year, have not materially fluctuated, individually or in the aggregate from the preceding year; thus, only current year information is presented below.

Market risk on variable‑ratevariable-rate financial instruments. At June 30, 2018,2019, we maintained a Senior Secured Credit Facility comprised of a $225.0 million revolving credit facility $858.6and $2,000.0 million of Senior Secured Term LoansLoan due 2022 and $493.8 million of Senior Secured Term Loans due 2023.2026. The Senior Secured Credit Facility provides for borrowings at a rate per annum equal to, at our option, either (i) an applicable margin plus at our option, either a base rate determined by reference to the highest of (a) 0.50% per annum plus the Federal Funds Effective Rate, or (b) the prime rate of Citi or (ii) the LIBOR + 2.25%3.0%. The rate in effect at June 30, 20182019 for the outstanding Senior Secured Term LoansLoan due 2022 and 20232026 was 4.3233%5.23% per annum. Increases in market interest rates would cause interest expense to increase and earnings before income taxes to decrease. The change in interest expense and earnings before income taxes would be dependent upon the weighted average outstanding borrowings during the reporting period following an increase in market interest rates. At June 30, 2018,2019, we had no variable-rate borrowings outstanding under our revolving credit facility and had an aggregate principal balance of $1,352.4$1,995.0 million outstanding under the Senior Secured Term LoansLoan due 2022 and 2023.2026. A 100-basis point change in market interest rates would have increased or decreased interest expense on the Senior Secured Credit Facility by $6.8$9.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2018.2019.

Market risk on fixed-rate financial instruments. instruments. Included in long-term corporate borrowings at June 30 20182019 were principal amounts of $230.0$600.0 million of our Senior SecuredConvertible Notes due 2023,2024, $600.0 million of our Notes due 2025, $375.0 million of our Notes due 2022, $595.0 million of our Notes due 2026, $475.0 million of our Notes due 2027, and £500.0 million ($660.3635.0 million) of our Sterling Notes due 2024. A 100-basis point change in market interest rates would have caused an increase or (decrease) in the fair value of our fixed rate financial instruments of approximately $163.0$138.6 million and ($152.0)130.2) million, respectively.

Foreign currency exchange rate risk. We are also exposed to market risk arising from changes in foreign currency exchange rates as a result of our ownership of Odeon and Nordic. Odeon’s revenues and operating expenses are transacted in British Pounds and Euros, and Nordic’s revenues and operating expenses are transacted primarily in Swedish Krona and Euros. U.S. GAAP requires that our subsidiaries use the currency of the primary economic environment in which they operate as their functional currency. If Odeon and Nordic operate in a highly inflationary economy, U.S. GAAP requires that the U.S. dollar be used as the functional currency for Odeon and Nordic. Currency fluctuations in the countries in which we operate result in us reporting exchange gains (losses) or foreign currency translation adjustments. Based upon our ownership in Odeon and Nordic as of June 30, 2018,2019, holding everything else constant, a hypothetical 10% immediate, simultaneous, unfavorable change in allstrengthening of the foreign currencyU.S. dollar versus the average exchange rates of applicable currencies to which we are exposed,depict the potential impact to net income of changes in foreign exchange rates, would increase the aggregate net lossearnings of our International markets reportable segment for the six months ended June 30, 20182019 by approximately $0.8$0.4 million.

Our foreign currency translation rates improved favorablydecreased by approximately 10.7% from7.0% for the six months ended June 30, 20172019 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018, which increaseddid not significantly impact our consolidated net loss by approximately $0.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018.2019.
